beginner
A: how are you wedding plans going.
B: very well. We started organizing everything early to avoid a last minute rush to get things done. The only thing that isn’t ready yet is my wedding dress.
A: when will that be ready?
B: the dressmakers said that is would be ready in two weeks.
A: you’re getting married in three weeks. So that should be ok. So, you’ve prepared the church, catering¹, transport, hotel-everything.
B: yes. We’ve taken care of all of that. We decided² not to get married in a church though. Neither of us is very religious.
A: which hotel will the reception be held at?
B: the palace hotel they’re taking care of the catering, including the wedding cake. I’m sure they’ll do a good job.
A; oh, yes. It’s and excellent hotel. A friend of mine had her wedding reception there and said it was perfect, though very expensive.
B: yes. It will be expensive, but we think it will be worth. It gives us great peace of mind to know that our reception is in the hands of experienced people.
A; I think you make the right decision.

Intermediate³
A: hello mary. I havn’t seen you for ages. Are you still seeing paul?
B: no. we broke up last month. I’m taking a break from dating for a while.
A: did you break up amicably⁴? Sometimes couples row a lot before splitting⁵ up.
B: we just decided to stop seeing each other. It was all very amicable⁶. Are you still going out with mike?
a: yes, I am. We’re thinking about getting engaged. We’ve been dating for over a year now.
b: good for you! Have you seen Kelly recently: is she still dating nick?
A; I havn’t seen her for a while. She stopped seeing nick because he was cheating on her. He was seeing a girl form his office. One day, she saw them holding hands and ended the relationship immediately.
B; she was right to do that. I heard the neil and tina getting married soon.
A: really? They’ve been together for a long time. When are they getting married?
B; I think it’s 26th September. I’ll check and make sure that tina remembers to invite you to the hen night.
A: tinks….hey, look at that guy over there. I think he fancies you.
B: he certainly looks interested doesn’t he? Shall we invite him over to our table.
